The Empire of Love failed to score for the second time this season. And, interestingly, it was precisely Flamengo's second loss of the year. Adriano believes the team lacked composure when it came to finishing, and also lacked a little defensive focus.

\

According to the number 10, Universidad do Chile achieved a positive result by playing on top of the red-blacks' mistakes.

\

"We lacked composure. The team was a little inattentive in the scoring opportunities, and they managed to take advantage of our mistakes," he analyzed.

\

Leonardo Moura believes the team faltered on the Chileans' first goal. The right-back believes tighter marking could have prevented the header from finding the back of the net.

\

"We ended up getting distracted in the marking. With balls like that, you have to stick with the opponent all the time," analyzed the number 2, who left injured, in the second half.

\

Emperor Adriano lamented the result but urged the team not to give up. After all, next Sunday, the Gávea team has another decisive match. The red-and-blacks face Botafogo in the Taça Rio, the second round of the Campeonato Carioca.

\

"Now it's time to move forward. We have another important match on Sunday, and again on Wednesday, so we have to keep our heads up and keep working," he added.

Together, Adriano and Love have scored 19 goals this season. The Emperor has scored seven, and his teammate, 12.
